COMPANY GOING SLOW AND EASY Chamber and Town Mayor File Protests With Express Company. MANY LETTERS PASS REGARDiNG THE MATTER Oomnany Places Economy as Main R eason for Proposing Consolidation. As a result of n protest mado to the American Kr.ilway Express Com- j pany by the Mayor of Conway ami f.ho flnnwnv (?/' (1i>imnf>rr'i'> ! the company has given assurance that there will ho no consolidation of the express and railroad office? for the immediate present, nor until representatives of the town have had an opportunity to state their case to officials of the company. On October 21 the Chamber of Commerce addressed the following letter to Mr. R. H. May, superintendent of the American IJ-i'w.'-- F\pyos> Company with offices at Wilmington: "It has been called to my attention that the express company is contcmplatin.tr the consolidation of its offices with the A*'antic Coast I ino Company, abandoning its present office and removing the same to the rear of the'railroad station. It may be that this information is not authentic but there is a well-founded rumor here to th.at effect. "The business men of Conway and all patrons of the express service and the railroad service would view such a move with the utmost dissatisfaction. At present the express service here is of such a rhnraeter as to command the general favor of the public. While the railroad employes are very courteous and efficient, their quarters arc cramped and inadequate to meet the need ; of the local situation both as to nassomrer and freight service. To con'-o^r^'to t'-ese tvi branches of the public service would result in a lessening of the efficiency and would bo a st^n backward to conditions which existed ion years a pro despite the steady "vowth in business of the town duri^e- tlv\t period. "We hope that this proposed change will not be attempted. While the relationship between the pu'? ic -\n?> the express company ha; nVnys be^n pleasant 1 M,v si.re *? 1 t * ho u'li would sit i '1N energetically the adort'on oi' t' , plan." In reply to the above letter the Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of the following from Mr. May: "This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 2lst instant with regard to the -consolidation of the express nnrl railroad business at Conway, S. C. "Because of the necessity for greater economy in the cost of operating our business we have under consideration the proposition of making1 such an arrangement. "Our earnings, due to the general business depression obtaining during the last several months, hnvc made it neces virv that every possible eeonomv be brought about. "The consolidation at Conway ha? not yet been definitely determined and before final action is taken I will either cnll to see v >u personally witli regard to the matter or send a competent representative. You may rest assured that if the consolidation i.. made the service which will be renjgrnr v r. r '' ' ' \ K |3. wm^Mv Wp^ts&i < T dered wilT be to the entire satisfaction of yourself and others of our Conway patrons."

Meeting of the Commissioners for i Horry-Georgetown Bridge. The first meeting of the com- ] mittees from Horry and Georgetown 1 counties relative to the construction of a bridge near Port Harrelson was I held last Thursday at Yah Hanah 1 Ferry. The Horry committee, com- 1 posed of 1). V. Richardson, I) A.! '< ! Spivey and W. L. Richadson, were a'1 present. The Georgetown com-: mitteo, consisting of Messrs.

A. Spivey. the newly elected chairman of the joint commission, was seen by a reporter for this paper and ?vas asked for a statement as to the proposed plans relative to the bridge project mentioned. 4M,Tel! it .may be a little too early for me to uive you any definite or concrete plans," said he. "I have "M in he' 1 this movement, and have not had time to j j ;ve u much n ature thought.

It will he determined by the delegations in the legislature from ' Horry and Georgetown. "If the structure he built accord ing to plans and specifications of the Government, Uncle Sain will'pa., one-half the cost, Georgetown will pay one-half the balance, leaving Horry to foot the hill of one-fourth thn toal cost. Based on $200,000 cost, Horry's part would be only $50,000. "The constitutional limit for Horry's bonded indebtedness will permit of $100,000 more bonds for roads and bridges, as I calculate. "Now, while I am talking about bridges, permit me to say that another structure should span the Waccamaw River. I refer to the proposed one at or near Star/ Bluff. The necessity 'or this bridge will permit of no contradiction. We all know that it should be built. We just as well admit that the Loris sect on, Simpson Creek and Little River Township did not receive their equit ; able share in the distribution of the that Supreme vdint quality || ju mid drink Bottle r. S. 0., NOV 10, 1921 funds derived from the Buck bond bill and the Government funds. . It is not too late to correct this apparent injustice. Those people should have the bridge and a road completed from Loris across to Cherry Grove section. "I am also convinced that the bridge near Nichols needs to be rebuilt, and probably other smallo bridges in the county need repairs sadly. "Speaking personally, 1 would like to see all these bridge projects com- ! bined into one bond issue of $100,000. My opinion is that this amov.i I \vi? .-Hi f-v funds to erect (on share) the George town bridge, th Stai* Rln'Y bridge, the Nichols (on share) bridge, and leave sever; thousand dollars for 'smaller strut tures and improvement of roiuls. small low nf nnn jmrl ni>n.l*i.lf .....

For some time the easiness men of this section of South Carolina have seen and felt the nod of an organization of the growers in order to control the placing of the product on the market. In other tobacco growing sections of the country the growers are organized and they do not allow the markets to open until they arc ready to sell. They are prepared to * great extent to keep the tobacco off the market if conditions are not jus: right. It is this that must be done hero if the farmers would succed ir making a fair profit from their crops. It is this that the bankers of group six will help in putting over. The Florence Times in its issue of last Friday says of this meetinpv "Group six of the South Carolina Bankers' Association, meeting hove unanimously indorsed .and approxed of plans for organizing the tobacco rowers of the state into a co-operative marketing association. This group comprises practically the entire tobacco belt of South Carolina; an i for this meeting bankers from the tobacco counties outside of the belt were invited and well represented. Consequently the action of the meeting represents the bankers of the tobacco belt as fully as it does the group.
